Jeri Jurline Sunkle

She was born July 9, 1944, in Shawnee, Oklahoma, and raised by parents John and Mary Brady.

Taking care of her home and two boys for most of her life, Jeri was always one to make sure family came first. She was an avid book collector, and you would often find her enjoying one of her books. She attended Sacred Heart Catholic Church.

Jeri and her husband John were members of the Patriot Guard Riders, riding their motorcycles to assist and offer special memorialization for local veterans' funerals. When they had free time you would also find them taking a ride on their trike together. Mrs. Sunkle will be leaving a lasting impact on the people who had the privilege of knowing her.

She was preceded in death by her parents; son, Michael Sunkle; and sister, Annette Copeland and husband Nathan.

Survivors include her husband, John Loupe; son, David Sunkle and wife Kelly; sister, Ona Presto and husband Sam; and numerous grandchildren, great grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and friends.

The family suggests that memorial donations be made to Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Jeri's name.

Private arrangements are being made by the family.

Services are under the direction of Cason Monk-Metcalf Funeral Directors, Nacogdoches.
